the cover in spaced relation to the pulleys and the Saw. If such is the case waste matter projected by the saw will be intercepted and ycollected within the cover member and par- Where la saw is being :continuously usedu the Waste matter accumulates rather rapidly and it is accordingly necessaryv to remove the4 cover from time to time. n In order. that the cover may be quickly and readily removed or applied a pair of klugs 14 are formed on they baseI part. yof the frame; A pair of cooperating, ears 15 are formed onk the lower edgeeoi the cover and these engage the lugs 14thereby forming a pivot for the lower end of the cover and linzaddition thereto a pivotal support which permits the cover to be liftedk away from the frame. Thek upper frame member 3 carries ay stud bolt 16, see Figs. 1 and 3, and the cover member carries anut 17 whichis freely rotatable thereon but secured against endwise movement. Hence if the cover is placed in' position on the lugs 14kr and swung inwardly against the frame stud 16 wyill register. with the nut and by turningfthe nut; the threadsvare engaged andthe cover is. clamped against .the face of the frame.V Conversely if itis `desired to clean the machine. and, remove the accumulated waste matter itis onlyy necessary to rotate the nut in rthe opposite direction thus freeing it, from pthe stu'dand permitting Ait to be swung outwardly onthe lugs 14. The cover contami Aingthe Waste matter may thusbe removed to a point where it may be wipedl out or cleaned witha hose or the like andas the surface of the frame presents a fiat face 1t is obvious that this can be readily wipedy oif and it is further apparent that the pulleys and the saw are in.y a position where they are accessible to wiping and cleaning. After this 1s accomplished the cover is again applied and secured by nut 17. The operation of cleaning the machineis thusex-ceedingly simple and is quickl 1y` accomplished The only part off the saw which, is exposed is thatk indicated at 20. This portion of the saw passes through the meat. orI other material placed upon the table C and as such cannot be'covered but as the movement of the saw is downward vor in the direction-of thearrow a, the waste removed y,by the teeth of thesaw is carried downwardlyinto the ycover member and is there disposed vof either by being thrown off or bv being wiped off by the members 12 and 13, hence the machine maybe kept in a clean and sanitary conditionat all times.

` mile certainV features ofthe ypresent invention are more or less specifically described, Il wish. itk understood that various changes may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims. Similarly, that the materials and finishes of the several parts employed may be such as the manufacturer may decide, or varying conditions or uses may demand.

Having thus described my invention what I claimand desire to secure by Letters atent 1S*- In a meat cutting band saw, a vertically disposed frame, onelside of said frame presenting a Lflat surface extending to the very marginl ofthe frame, a work table on the frame, .an upperand a lower pulley j ournaled on the frame adjacent 'the flat. surface thereof, la: -bandsaw carried by the pulleys, a cover plate'having a `shape oroutline substantially thesame as that ofthe frame and the flat surface formed thereon, aV marginal ange formed onthe cover plate and maintaining a spacing between the fiat surface of the frame andthe cover plate, and means securing the Banged cover plateto the flat surface ofthe framewhereby a continuous tight joint ismaintained between thefiat surface and the cover plate, said cover enclosing the pulleys and all ofthe saw except a small portion abovezthework table and saidcover forming a receptaclefto receive all waste matter removed by the saw.
